Chinese children look like little men and women, for they dress like
their fathers and mothers. Boys and girls dress nearly alike. They
both dress in silk or cotton trousers. They wear long gowns over these
- reaching nearly to their feet. They wear odd-looking shoes with
thick white soles. The boys' heads are shaved, except a small part on
top. There a lock of hair is left. This lock of hair is braided and
hangs down the back. It is called a "queue." Girls in China do not go
to school, but all day long they are busy; they help their mothers
keep house; they tend the babies; they sew, and help with the cooking.

The schools in China are only for boys. The boys
make a great deal of noise in school. A Chinese teacher thinks the
boys are idle if they do not study their lessons out loud. So each boy
shouts as loud as he can. When the boy has learned his lesson, he
goes up and gives his book to the teacher. Then he turns his back to
the teacher, and shouts out the whole lesson to show that he knows it.

The boys are taught to count. They
learn by using balls set in a frame. The frame is like the frame of a
slate. The balls slide on wires. With the balls they learn to add and
subtract. This aparatus is called an abacus.

They also learn how to write, but
they have no pens or pencils. They write with small brushes dipped in
ink. Each boy makes his own ink. He puts some water on a stone and
then rubs a cake of ink in the water. This makes a fine black ink
called India ink. Then the boy fills his brush and begins at the top,
right-hand corner of the paper. He writes toward the bottom of the
sheet. He puts one word under another instead of beside it as you do.
Then he begins a new line at the top, and writes to the bottom again.

many girls and women have very small feet. When they are babies their
feet are bound up tightly. They sometimes wear iron shoes. Then their
feet never grow, but are so very small that they can hardly walk. Poor
parents know their girls will have to work hard, and so do not bind
their feet.
